Preview: Confident Auckland face Titans on Oct 17

Durban, Oct 16: After thrashing Kolkata Knight Riders by 7 wickets, Confident Auckland Aces are all set to take on Titans at Durban in the group match of Champions League T20 on Wednesday.

Both the teams bank on a few players, while Auckland depends on Azhar Mahmood's heroics, Titans bank on Mitchell Marsh and their bowling attack.

Auckland's batting has been on par with their bowling, as Guptill, Lou Vincent, Azhar Mahmood have been playing extremely well, while the bowling has also been quite good since the start of the tournament, as they performed very well in the qualifying stage as well.

Titans on the other hand, have been quite impressive with the ball but need to concentrate on their batting as they depend on a few players, if Gibbs, Katich gets going, then Auckland might feel the heat.
